Separate data containing digits and non digits

Question

I have a character vector:

A <- c("terrestrial human",
       "animal 7 planet",
       "geographic 23 locations",
       "discovery kids")

I want to separate this into two vectors: one has all the entries containing digits, and the other containing data without any digits.

v1 <- c("animal 7 planet","geographic 23 locations") 
v2 <- c("terrestrial human","discovery kids")

Please provide a [reproducible example](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example). — Thomas, Oct 23 '13 at 08:28
You seem to have a vector. `x <- c("terrestrial human", "animal 7 planet","geographic 23 locations","discovery kids") ;split( x , grepl( "[0-9]" , m ) )` — Simon O'Hanlon, Oct 23 '13 at 09:32

I took the liberty of declaring Matrix A as a vector called A instead, since it seems to be one dimensional -

A[!grepl(x = A, pattern = '[[:digit:]]')]
A[grepl(x = A, pattern = '[[:digit:]]')]
